Thanks For Visiting!

Thank you for visiting SEOBasicsCourse.com, the home of the free SEO course by Derek Jansen.

I created this site (and the course) in 2011 to provide a simple, easy to understand guide to SEO for newcomers to the space. Since then, the industry has evolved and there is now an abundance of quality information on the topic, as well as free guides and courses which are much more up to date than mine.

If you’re looking for a great free SEO course/guide to get you started, I’d highly recommend Moz.com’s “Beginners Guide to SEO”. You can view it here or download it here. If you’re based in South Africa, have a look at our SEO training offerings in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
